The New York Knicks had plenty of heroes during their championship run, but according to some fans, one unlikely good-luck charm deserved credit too. During a celebration event at Raising Cane’s Global Flagship restaurant in Times Square, Jordyn Woods addressed the viral attention surrounding the orange handbag she carried throughout much of the Knicks’ playoff journey, per Heavy.
As New York kept winning, social media users began connecting the team’s success to Woods’ now-famous accessory. What started as a joke eventually snowballed into a full-blown superstition among Knicks fans.
The Bag Took on a Life of Its Own
Woods admitted she noticed the growing attention online but said fans did not fully buy into the theory until one particular game.
“Everyone said the bag was a good luck charm on TikTok, but it wasn’t until I couldn’t bring the bag and that was the only game we lost that people really started believing the hype,” Woods said.
That loss only fueled the superstition. Soon, fans began monitoring the bag’s appearances almost as closely as the team’s injury reports and game-day lineups.
The handbag even made another appearance during the Times Square celebration, drawing smiles from supporters who followed the trend throughout the postseason.
While the Knicks ultimately captured their first championship in 53 years because of their play on the court, the orange bag became one of the more unexpected storylines of the run.
Woods attended the event alongside fiancé Karl-Anthony Towns, who spent time greeting fans, signing autographs and serving food during a celebratory shift at Cane’s.
As championship celebrations continue across New York, the orange handbag remains a memorable part of the Knicks’ title story. Whether fans truly believe it brought good fortune or not, Woods now knows exactly when the superstition took on a life of its own.
